Sunrise of Baton Rouge sits at 8502 Jefferson Hwy in the Westminster neighborhood, tucked behind a white picket fence with neat landscaping, and when you walk up to the front porch, you'll see rocking chairs and some good greenery that makes the place feel warm. It's an apartment community that's pet-friendly and offers both independent and assisted living, with luxury apartments and memory care, and they've got nursing home and hospice care, too, along with short-term stays and respite care for folks needing some help after surgery or illness. The building's got a spacious, elegant lobby, an inviting common room with comfortable seats and a bay window, a cozy living room with a fireplace, and a bistro that's always stocked with fruit and drinks, and there's a private dining room, a café, and restaurant-style dining with meals for guests-plus they have a professional chef making dishes that can be adapted to special diets, whether someone needs low-sodium, vegan, or low-sugar options.
There's a full activity schedule, both social and educational, and the staff works to support good quality of life for everyone, bringing in entertainment, hosting holiday parties, and offering counseling and devotional services, including Catholic ones. Their memory care comes with the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, designed for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's, with private suites, safe wandering areas, and secure premises to help prevent confusion; they run sensory-based activities, cognitive programs, and therapies, and the Resident Care Director and specialized caregivers are there to assist. You'll find a beauty salon, a Jacuzzi, a game room, and walking paths both inside and out, along with an enclosed courtyard and an outdoor patio garden. Rooms have features for accessibility like roll-in showers, full tubs, and vanity units; some suites come with kitchenettes, comfortable sitting areas, and large windows for natural light. They don't say much about exact parking arrangements or exterior features, but they do have resident parking available.
Sunrise of Baton Rouge offers transportation, including a complimentary shuttle and easy access to the local bus line, and transportation at cost if needed. Housekeeping comes standard, and Wi-Fi/high-speed internet's available. The staff, who are well-trained and always around, can help with bathing, dressing, medicine, and other care, and the community goes for a holistic and personalized approach to wellness, focusing on both body and mind. They've provided senior support for over 35 years, with a clean and safe environment, and always keep residents' comfort and independence in mind. Their setup allows for aging in place if care needs grow, and the building's pet-friendly so residents don't have to say goodbye to companions. While a lot of details about lease terms and some specific amenities aren't available, the facility stands out for its strong commitment to senior care, social life, regular activities, and inclusion.
